1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract

objectiveKinaesthetic perceptional illusion by visual stimulation (KINVIS) combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and conventional therapeutic exercise (TherEX) has been shown previously to enhance motor function in stroke patients with chronic hemiparesis. The aim of this preliminary study is to assess the effects of a repetitive KINVIS intervention combined with TherEX, but without NMES, on upper limb motor function of patients with stroke-induced hemiparesis.

designA quasi-experimental study, with pretest-posttest for 1 group Patients: Ten patients with stroke-induced, chronic, severe upper limb hemiparesis.

methodsPatients were evaluated before and after a 10-day intervention, during which KINVIS and TherEX were applied for 20 and 60 min, respectively, for 5 days per week (Monday to Friday). Upper limb motor function was assessed using Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and Action Research Arm Test (ARAT), and resistance to passive movement in flexor muscles was assessed using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). In addition, the amount of use and quality of movement of the affected upper limb in daily life were assessed using Motor Activity Log (MAL).

resultsClinical assessments with FMA, ARAT, MAS, and MAL significantly improved after the intervention period.

conclusionA repetitive KINVIS intervention combined with TherEX may improve upper limb motor function in patients with chronic stroke and severe hemiparesis.
